In addition the Central Area‟s development was not part of a unified real state scheme with coordinated public improvements (such as the Mount Baker community). For these reasons, it has never had official boundaries and various writers describe its extent in various ways. Almost all attempts to describe the neighborhood include a core area bounded by Madison Street on the north, Jackson Street on the south, 15th Avenue on the west, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Way (formerly Empire Way) on the east. In 1975, Nyberg and Steinbrueck identified the eastern boundary of the Central Area as 30th Avenue (more or less), and also included extensions to the north and south of the core area. The extension to the south of Jackson Street was bounded by 30th Avenue (approximately) on the east, Interstate 90 on the south, and the mid-block alley just east of Rainier Avenue South on the west. The extension to the north of Madison Street was bounded on the west by 23rd Avenue, on the east by the Washington Park Arboretum, and extended north to a line just north of East Helen Street marking the boundary between the plats known as the Madison Park Addition and the Hazelwood Addition Supplemental.1 Walt Crowley describes the neighborhood as a “sprawling residential district .

Raised in a non-religious household, Judaism never played a large role in his life. Today, he's a reggae singer who is gar- nering attention, raising some eyebrows and receiving accolades from critics all over. Things have changed in the past few years. Over the course of time, the dreads turned into peyyot; he traded in his baggy pants for black slacks and the raps have turned into reggae. Matthew Miller became Matisyahu. Now going by his Hebrew name, the 25- year-old Lubavitcher from Crown Heights is definitely an uncommon face in the reg- gae scene, wearing traditional Hasidic garb of black hat, black coat and long black beard. "The image is not something people are used to seeing. It's really a trip for peo- ple. I think hopefully once people hear the “...yiddishkeit is the music, the music speaks for itself and they'll get into it," he says. emes, the truth. I bring Matisyahu's music brings to the fore a unique fusion of styles, from Bob Marley to that with me and I think Jewish folk singer Shlomo Carlebach, yet remains original.
